Faith leaders
from across California will come together on October 16 to
volunteer at a San Diego No on Prop. 8 phone bank. Leaders
from several faiths, including Unitarians, Lutherans,
from the United Church of Christ, will call voters to
correct the false statements that have been made about
Proposition 8 by conservative religious voices.
"Regardless of how people feel about marriage, it is
simply wrong to eliminate fundamental human rights.
That's why these faith leaders are speaking
out, to preserve the basic human dignity of all
Californians," said Jan Garbosky, president of
the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San
Diego's Board of Trustees.
Garbosky
understands, as does her clergy counterparts, that
"no church member could be forced to perform
wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples" if
Prop. 8 is defeated in November.
"On
Thursday, these inspiring individuals will speak out against
any effort by one faith tradition to impose their
beliefs on others by amending our state's
constitution," said Garbosky.
Proposition 8
would eliminate marriage rights for gay and lesbian
couples.(The Advocate)
